OOTD: Back to Basics

If there is one thing I love about shopping, it’s getting more bang for my buck. By this, I mean buying a lot of basics that I can rework into other outfits. I love this gray vest and simple black cotton dress. They can be worn with many different pieces that already exist in my bargainista wardrobe. You’ll probably be seeing a lot more of them. This entire outfit cost around $30. Yay bargains!! How many versatile pieces do you have in your closet?

I don't have many versatile pieces in my closet. But next time I go shopping, I will keep my eye out for such pieces. This outfit is great! That necklace is so cute!

Ok, so first off I love this outfit. Second, the necklace is great. Third, those shoes are to die for! I try to buy pieces that I can rework. I have a kind of pact with myself that I try not to wear the same thing the same way twice.

I have mostly basics in my closet and I work them into whatever I can buy mixing and matching accessories.

It's a week of gray vests all around! I, obviously, love the black dress/gray vest thing. I'm a huge fan of my new vest, and I feel like I just want to wear it with everything! You look gorgeous as always doll!
